Rasa Rising presents Flowing Locks and Flaming Feet: A Shiva themed Bharata Natyam Solo by Dr. Hiten Mistry

November 29, 2025 @ 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
£10 – £12
An man doing a traditional Indian dance in a dark room.

A Bharatanatyam solo weaving together the many facets of Shiva — the ascetic with matted locks, the cosmic dancer, the lover, and the destroyer.

Through a selection of choreographed works by distinguished artists, this performance offers a deeply personal journey into rhythm, devotion, and transformation. Each piece invokes Shiva’s divine paradox: wild yet composed, fierce yet compassionate, still yet ever-moving. Performed by Leicester’s very own leading Bharata Natyam dance practitioner, teacher and choreographer – Dr. Hiten Mistry.

This evening offers local audiences a glimpse into the passion, artistry and evocative dance experience from one of the few male practitioners of Bharata Natyam in the UK.
